"To Make it Funny"
I leave you with a bit of whimsy from a website devoted mostly to insider humor for historic site and history museum folks. The idea of combining Ask a Curator Day with Talk Like a Pirate Day struck me as funny and made me wish I had thought of it. Enjoy (or not). I hope you have a great weekend, mateys!
